M.A. in Psychological Measurement from Ewha Womans University. Her scholarly trajectory aims to improve education for underserved and un- derchallenged students with impactful research and evidence-based interventions. Longitudinal research methodology is the main area of her expertise, which has enabled her a) to investigate growth trajecto- ries of motivation and career choices; b) to identify opportunity gaps within underserved groups; and c) to evaluate and improve educational interventions in STEM. With the expertise in quantitative research methodology, she is engaged in collaborative research with entrepreneurship education and other interdis- ciplinary programs. American

Business Model Canvas (BMC) (Osterwalder et al., 2010).Rather than creating market value, as in the BMC, the intention is to help a faculty member intentionallynavigate a career of fulfilment and purpose. Just as the BMC implies that there is no one way to start asuccessful business, there is no one way to be a successful faculty member. Several design principles from 1the BMC were used. First, a canvas is a single page, with large blank spaces that invite exploration andflexibility. Simple frameworks reduce cognitive load and can be more easily internalized, such that theycan become a persistent mental image to help make future decisions

required in the STEM fields has increased nearly 34% over the pastdecade [2], the number of students choosing STEM positions as their career goals isdecreasing [3]. Teachers have a paramount influence on students’ future career choices.An effective way to increase students’ interest in STEM fields is to improve teachers’conceptions and self-efficacy of engineering and STEM concepts [4]. Specifically, ateacher’s understanding of engineering plays a critical role in increasing a student’sinterest in STEM areas [2, 5, 6].Previous research demonstrated that teachers who participated in engineering andtechnology focused PD programs showed improvement in their knowledge andunderstanding of engineers, engineering disciplines, and their relations with the

Intrapreneurs are particularlycritical for engineering because this academic domain often provides the foundation the technicalexpertise needed to commercialize innovation. Many important innovations will come fromexisting organizations; as such, most new graduates will begin their careers with establishedfirms, and intrapreneurial skills have been identified as drivers in retention and careeradvancement in engineering-focused firms [2]. The literature suggests enhancing intrapreneurialskills of students in engineering can be achieved through a combination of curricular and real-world experiences [3].

In the nineteenth century, women participated in aspects of science butmainly engaged in data-gathering rather than idea-creation [26] and were largely invisible andconcentrated in nurturing career tracks [39]. Prior to the 20th century and beyond, womensupported science but not pioneers in the field; reflective of the patriarchal society they lived in.Commonly known as biological determinism, the physical, psychological, and intellectual natureof women prohibited them from producing great science [38]. The Nineteenth and earlyTwentieth centuries posited if women were incorporated into scientific employment, they weresegregated in it with stereotypes of appropriate sex roles

Mentors canhelp a mentee transition into the professional workforce by providing guidance and alleviatingstress, especially in the beginnings of a career [10].
